Terence Crawford’s coach, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, doesn’t favor a rehydration clause for his attainable September mega-clash towards unified tremendous middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
Even when BoMac have been in favor of a rehydration clause, he and Crawford can be powerless to have one positioned within the contract with the famous person Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs).
Crawford isn’t a PPV draw and is nowhere close to well-liked sufficient to power the ‘Face of Boxing’ Canelo to comply with a weight handicap for him. If Crawford tried to power a rehydration clause on Canelo, he wouldn’t get the battle. It’s that easy.
There are fighters at 168 and 175 that Crawford might use his A-side pull to power a rehydration clause on them to weaken them sufficient for him to be aggressive however nonetheless lose. Nevertheless, Canelo will not be one in every of them.
BoMac Rejects Rehydration Clause
- “That’s some p***y sh*t. That’s some weak s***,” mentioned Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre to The Ring Podcast on the thought of a rehydration clause for the potential mega-fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford in September.
I don’t know why the interviewer from Ring would even hassle to ask a foolish query about whether or not Crawford will need a rehydration clause for the Canelo battle. Bud isn’t going to take the danger of messing up his golden parachute retirement payday towards Canelo by sticking his toes within the sand and insisting there be a 10-lb rehydration restrict.
Alvarez doesn’t rehydrate monumental quantities of weight for his bouts at 168. He’s not a lightweight heavyweight or cruiserweight-sized fighter that boils all the way down to 168 like some fighters do.
The one motive Terence is probably getting this battle is as a result of Turki Al-Sheikh needs to see it, and is prepared to barter. Boxing followers view that is as Crawford’s retirement payday, as a result of he’s shifting up two divisions to battle Canelo with out getting a tuneup within the 168-lb division.
